Creative Ways To Embellish Women’s Clothing

I have recently been researching creative ways to embellish women’s clothing.  When I was teaching classes at a local craft store chain we regularly held demonstrations on various decorating techniques.  The most fun we had was a birthday party that fell on Halloween week.  We took plain canvas bags and the kids decorated them and used them as trick or treat bags.  When done correctly, you can change the look of a piece of clothing or an accessory with a few items from your local craft store.  Here are some fun ideas for embellishing clothing and accessories for you:

  • Potato Printing: This technique has been a mainstay in crafting for years, but it is making a comeback lately.  You can find millions of stencils on the web that you can trace and then transfer to a potato that has been cut in half.  Cut out the stencil and dip it in your favorite color paint and decorate away!
  • Bedazzle it: I know there is a joke running through the whole Bedazzle idea, but when done tastefully, you can dress up a tired accessory or piece of clothing.  I took a black t-shirt and traced a peace sign onto it and then applied silver and pink rhinestones and it turned out really cute.
  • Crochet: If you or someone you know can crochet, making and adding a pretty flower is easy as pie.  The best suggestion is the take the item you crocheted and hot glue gun it to a safety pin.  This way you can switch it out or move it around easily.
  • Paint: There are so many options when using paint to embellish your clothing.  You can use puff paint, fabric paint, stencils, stamps or free-hand.  No matter what you use, when done in moderation, you can make a one of a kind item that your friends will envy.  I do not have a steady hand when it comes to embellishing something that is going to be the “wow” factor.  When I want to have something that is a stand out piece, I go to Lisa from Ellembee Designs.  Lisa makes the most gorgeous pieces and sells them from her wildly popular Etsy shop.
